Q : Moving forward to the next five to ten years , how do you see Hult evolving as a school , and what resources will Hult invest into the alumni community ?
Over the next ten years , we are going to see a huge opportunity to become even more relevant to employers . When you go and speak to potential employers , they basically say business schools are too theoretical . Doing research into what employers value , providing executive education that really makes a tangible difference to employees , making sure that Hult graduates have cutting-edge knowledge — those are the three things we want to achieve . Realizing those goals was the driver for the operational merger with Ashridge , which for the first time takes us into the executive education and research spheres .
In terms of alumni , I think you ’ ll see more resources supporting the alumni community . We haven ’ t finalized the structure for that quite yet , but ultimately , where most of the money will go is on how to enable alumni to stay relevant in their careers . What alumni really need is ongoing professional development , and that ’ s what we hope to provide .
